healthy cake

Looking for a 4th of July recipe to impress your family and friends at the cookout? Well look no further and make this clean, healthy and most importantly, delicious take on this summer treat! Traditional shortcakes are made with loads of butter, sugar, refined flours and heavy cream. Here at the Athletic Avocado, that stuff is a no-no! This is my tasty and successful attempt at making this festive holiday dessert that will not only satisfy your tastebuds, but also your nutritional needs!

So it happened again, I got a little too carried away made another english muffin. They are just so easy quick and delicious that I could not help myself! But this time I made a more unique flavor. Bananas + Salted Caramel = HEAVEN! Add some natural peanut butter and the rest of the banana, and you got yourself a beautiful, fiber-filling, tasty breakfast in a mere 4 minutes!

1/3 cup oat flour (1/3 cup pulverized oats)

1/2 small banana

1 egg white (2 Tbsp. applesauce for a vegan option)

1 prune

4 whole unsalted cashews

1/8 tsp. baking soda

1/8 tsp. flaked salt

1/8 tsp. vanilla extract

Add all ingredients into a food processor and pulverize for about 30 seconds (or until ingredients are fully mixed.

Spray cooking spray in a mug and add mixture.

microwave for about 2 1/2 – 3 minutes (or until fully cooked).

Top with natural peanut butter and the other half of banana, if desired.
